Manchester City are reported to have been found in breach of Premier League rules on almost all of the charges about their finances, covering the years we were trying to become a regular Champions League club. There's no trophy to hand back to Spurs, but there is a table to look at again.

I've been wondering what the next couple of weeks at Hotspur Way look like, with most of the settled side away and De Zerbi left with the players he says need more work.

Four games, no goals. But for about 20 minutes today Spurs actually looked like a proper football team. Bentancur excellent, Van Hecke better every week, and plenty clearly improving. We just need a goal. Somebody needs to bloody score one. PLEASE.

A team is appearing. We just need someone to score for it
For twenty minutes against Everton, all the small signs of progress arrived at once and Spurs looked like a team. The bit at the sharp end is still missing.

Still waiting for the goals
We looked more organised at Nottingham Forest and there were signs of a team beginning to take shape. But for the third league game running, the bit that matters most was missing.

Spot on. There was a combined 7 goals and 7 assists across our four wingers (Savio, Kudus, Tel and Mudryk) in 71 PL appearances last season. If you include Marmoush, who could play LW if needed, it only contributes another six contributions in a further 21 games.

Spurs were tidier and more coherent than at Brentford, and created enough to make this one hurt more. There are pieces here. They need to start turning into something.

The problem is, since probably 95% of the football I watch is Spurs, I genuinely can’t remember what a competent team looks like anymore. We string a few passes together and I think, “ooh, that was good”, but maybe it’s actually the bare minimum?

Three nil at Brentford, outplayed from the first whistle. We spent the summer buying better footballers. Saturday showed how far there is to go before this side looks like a team.
